I wouldn't mind trying to get this in shape for an explicit

This makes much more sense indeed. And helped me understand zstyle
better.

I think a tag should be a) unique and b) easily addressable via zstyle.
The index in $CDPATH would satisfy these requirements. Although if we
had some normalized form of the directory here, e. g. by replacing all
non-alphanumeric characters with '-', one could address an individual
path by its name instead of its index, making my zstyling immune to the
order in $CDPATH. For example for cdpath=(~/git /some/other/dir):
zstyle ':completion:*:path-directories-1' format "Git Repositories:"
as opposed to:
zstyle ':completion:*:path-directories---git' format "Git Repositories:"
The latter being slightly opaque syntax unfortunately.
Updated patch using the index and the other suggestions added:
